John I recently came across your blog while searching for bags to make for iPads and love the pattern. I enjoyed listening to you on Pat's show today. It was the first time I have actually gotten her show to play on my computer. I am also interested in your on-line magazine. Great Interview!

Hi John,I found out about your blog from Munaiba at SewJournal blog. SO this is my first visit. I have a good friend in Cary who is a quilting wanna-be - she has the "stuff" but never gets around to making something. I am a quilter. I too live in NC - in Nags Head. Give me a yell if you ever get over this way. Annette

I will listen to the podcast of your interview; I just found out about it from Pat's blog this evening. Right now, I'm gonna explore your blog. My son & family live in Apex, NC...so far from my Arizona home!

Great meeting you, John! What a fabulous giveaway! I'll be visiting your blog often now. Pat is a favorite of mine--so glad that she interviewed you and introduced you to those of us who didn't already know you. I have a couple of great friends who live in Cary, so I'm in your neck of the woods a couple times a year. Going to check out the Fat Quarterly next!

Thanks so much for a chance to win.Congratulations on being on the show with Pat, I enjoy her interviews mainly because she allows the other person to talk and she listens with us. I wish you continued success John.Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Happy sewing.

Hey John - I am new to your blog (found it thru Moda - the table runner - love it)! Thanks for leading me to Pat's shows. I plan to listen once my 3 year old takes a nap! I would love to win some fabric!! Thanks!

I am only just starting to quilt, so am looking for inspiration and your projects are just stunning- thank you for such a fascinating blog and for the links to Pat Sloane's blog, yet another I have to bookmark!

I enjoyed your interview with Pat Sloan,I liked your comment about giving up t.v. to have time to quilt. I'm sure I could get more accomplished if I shut the t.v. off! Your Parisville ribbons quilt is great.

I won!!! Thank you so very much for the subscription, John!! I was most impressed with your interview with Pat and enjoyed hearing how quilting came about with you and not that long ago either! Keep up the great work!

I'm old enough to be your dad John, but I do enjoy your blog and nice to see another man quilter not afraid to be out there! I've been quilting about 6 years now and totally enoy it. Keep up the good work.
